Clearly yes... but some are more conspicuous than others - I remember there was a cheer leader called Eowyn at the Moomba parade in Melbourne I went to and Terry Pratchett met a Galadriel and asked her if she were born in a Welsh hippy commune. However because Sindarin is derived from Welsh many lower profile Elvish names could pass for Welsh names.
